Drive Mapping on Windows or Mac OSX
Research Standard and Research Project storage can be mapped to your Windows or Mac computer as a remote drive. If you are off Grounds you must be running a VPN, such as the UVA Anywhere or the More Secure VPN from ITS. We recommend the More Secure VPN if that is available to you.
Windows Open a File Explorer page. In the left column, right-click on This PC. In the drop-down box that appears, look for the Map Network Drive option. If you do not see this option, click on Show more Options, and then click on Map network drive….

Transfer Files Using Amazon S3
Setup You will need to install and configure the awscli package in order to access objects in S3.
Install the AWS CLI The AWS CLI is available through the pip/pip3 installer:
If you have administrator privileges type
pip install awscli $('#copybtn437519268').click(function(){ var $temp = $(""); $(“body”).append($temp); $temp.val($('#437519268').text()).select(); document.execCommand(“copy”); $temp.remove(); var $this = $(this); $(this).fadeOut(200); $(this).delay(2000); $(this).fadeIn(200); }); Otherwise use
pip install –user awscli $('#copybtn483912657').click(function(){ var $temp = $(""); $(“body”).append($temp); $temp.val($('#483912657').text()).select(); document.execCommand(“copy”); $temp.remove(); var $this = $(this); $(this).fadeOut(200); $(this).delay(2000); $(this).fadeIn(200); }); The project is open source, so you can also download the source at https://github.
How To Tips for Storage
Map your Research Standard or Research Project Storage to your Desktop Use Globus from the Command Line Work with files in Amazon S3
SSH Keys
Users can authenticate their SSH sessions using either a password or an ssh key. The instructions below describe how to create a key and use it for password-less authentication to your Linux instances.
About SSH Keys SSH keys are a pair of encrypted files that are meant to go together. One half of the pair is called the “private” key, and the other half is the “public” key. When users use the private key to connect to a server that is configured with the public key, the match can be verified and the user is signed in. Or, put it more simply, when data is encrypted using one half of the key, it can be decrypted using the other half.
Globus Command-Line Interface
Install the Globus CLI The Globus CLI is available through the pip installer:
If you have administrator privileges type
pip install globus-cli Otherwise use
pip install –user globus-cli The project is open source, so you can also download the source at https://github.com/globus/globus-cli
If you would like to use the CLI from UVA HPC, please follow these directions below.
Authenticate using the Globus CLI Log in against your institutional authentication provider. In the case of UVA, we use NetBadge for signing in:
globus login This will open a page in your web browser where you select your institution and proceed to log in:
